Last year, we watched as Morgan Freeman traveled the world, finding out how different beliefs about religion came about, and how religion has shaped many in the world. The Discovery Channel is bringing Freeman back- this time in a documentary to discover the common binds that define humanity in The Story of Us.
According to the National Geographic press release:
“At a time when global events seem to be driving cultures apart, The Story Of Us aims to uncover the fundamental forces that keep our societies together, and to reveal the common humanity that lies inside each one of us. Each of the six hourlong episodes will explore a single fundamental force or topic, including love, belief, power, war and peace, rebellion and freedom.”
Morgan Freeman’s smooth voice makes him the perfect narrator. I would love to have him be the voice on my GPS navigation.
Tim Pastore, president of original programming and production, National Geographic says about Freeman, “It is no surprise that our global audience has warmly embraced Morgan as part of the National Geographic family. The beauty of this franchise is that Morgan represents all of us on his personal quest to understand these topics.”
The first and second episodes will contain an episode with Morgan Freeman interviewing former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, according to Entertainment Weekly. The season will premiere Wednesday, October 11th on the National Geographic Channel.
